WACO — An FBI agent has been sentenced to two years’ probation and 300 hours of community service for killing a neighbor’s Chihuahua last year. On Wednesday, a state district judge in Waco placed Lovett Leslie Ledger Jr. on deferred adjudication. That means no conviction will appear on his record if he successfully completes probation. The sentence comes about three months after Ledger pleaded no contest to animal cruelty charges, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported. Last year Ledger shot his neighbor’s 3-pound dog with a pellet gun as it walked near his house. FBI spokesman Erik Vasys said today that the agency will determine whether Ledger faces any sanctions, ranging from suspension to dismissal, after an internal inquiry is completed.

Makes me wonder how “near” I have to come to the fence before you can shoot me?

Michael Vick’s mistake was to not work for the government.

Depends on which side of the fence, not how near you are to it.

I loathe mistreatment of pets.....but...

feral animals killing game or livestock requires harsh action. Depends on your state. NY State where I live used to (may still) have laws that say you can kill dogs who are running deer....I am not saying its right, it is what it is. If a feral dog was running in packs and threatening me or my family, I would take care of the problem myself if necessary

in other news, Asians would have fattened the dog up first for a fine canine dinner, and central americans would have had no problem with putting the animal in the fight ring.

(Do they dog fight Chihuahuas??? maybe their is a midget class.)
(ooops ..they’re trying to ban the word midget...not PC am I?)

Yeah........ there is a gray line here, but it was the neighbor’s dog and consequently, the neighbor’s property, wich was destroyed by the perp.
